Richard Moss is an internationally respected leader and visionary thinker in the field of personal transformation, self-healing, group energy dynamics, and the art of living conscious relationships as an evolutionary spiritual path. For 35 years he has guided tens of thousands of people from many religious and cultural backgrounds to make essential life changes for furthering their health and spiritual development, and achieving deeply meaningful relationships. His work is comprehensive and highly experiential, bridging science, depth psychology, dream interpretation, energy medicine, body awareness exercises, and mindfulness practices. In 1977, Richard was a practicing medical doctor when he experienced a spontaneous spiritual illumination that awakened him to the multi-dimensional nature of human consciousness and immersed him in a depth of love and wholeness beyond anything he had ever dreamed existed.
Impelled by this opening, he took a sabbatical from the practice of medicine and began a period of retreat for nearly a year. During this time he read extensively in spiritual and psychoanalytic literature, poetry, and mythology. Formally an avid rock climber and mountaineer, he withdrew from intense outer challenges and walked for hours each day in the neighboring hills. It was a time of deep contemplation and careful observation of his mind and dreams. From this grew his insight that the root cause of emotional suffering and human conflict comes from unquestioned identification with our judgments and beliefs combined with a pervasive inability for people to face into threatening feelings in a vulnerable and creative way. These insights evolved into his revolutionary Mandala of Being teaching methodology which has influenced tens of thousands of people including coaches, psychotherapists, and teachers worldwide.
Dr. Moss lectures worldwide and currently offers 3-5 day Deep Work seminars year round in North and South America, Europe, and Australia. Twice each summer he presents his renowned 10-day Radical Aliveness retreat – one in the U.S. and another in France. Richard received his B.A. from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1968 and his M.D. from New York Medical College in 1972. Before retiring from the practice of medicine he was a member of the American College of Emergency Medicine (1974), the American College of Preventive Medicine (1979) and the American Holistic Medical Association.
He is the author of 7 books on the transformational process and the art of conscious living.
